SUMMIT COUNTY — Police officers in Breckenridge Colorado last week arrested two 17-year-old males from New Mexico for illegal possession of a handgun and illegally carrying a concealed weapon after they showed a .40 caliber semi-automatic Smith & Wesson to an off-duty Arvada policeman. The handgun was loaded with 13 hollow-point bullets in the magazine.

When he asked if he could see the gun, the juvenile handed it to the police officer, who called 911 and waited with the two juveniles until Breckenridge police officers arrived at the scene.
